Convention Committees: Contributing Organizations

Corporations, labor unions and other organizations are prohibited from contributing directly from their treasuries
to federal candidates and political parties, but for the parties' nominating conventions, anything goes. Six- and seven-figure contributions
were common in 2008, and were considered tax-deductible charitable donations (unlike campaign contributions). Below we've ranked the biggest
organizational givers to each host committee - use the dropdown to switch between Denver/Democrats and Twin Cities/Republicans - and, beyond their
donation to the conventions, we've also tallied federal campaign contributions during the 2006 and 2008 election cycles from PACs and individuals
associated with these organizations, along with the percentage given to Democrats and Republicans during that time. We've also totaled each
organization's spending on federal lobbying from 2005 through 2008.
